Louise Ottilie Barlag: Grand Daughter of Clamor

I posted about the Barlags here, here and here.  I thought I'd write about Ottilie.    She was the daughter of Anna Marie Brueggeman.  She was born in December of  1876 and she died at age 83 in 1959.

She married William Keske in 1901.

William Frederick Keske

When reviewing the agenda from the 1924 Brueggemann Family Reunion, it mentioned that William Keske was key to setting up the first reunion in 1923.  Interestingly, he was the spouse of a Brueggemann descendant.  He was married to Louise Ottilie Barlag (grand daughter of Clamor).  If you remember, the Reunion was held in Euclid (a suburb of Cleveland).

 He was listed in the 1920 Census and 1930 Census as a Wage Clerk for a Steel Mill.  They had four daughters and six sons.  Two of the daughters were twins and died at birth.
